Hip Opener Workshop

$20 Originally: $35

with NANCY COTTY, Noble Adult & Community Education

Calendar Feb 13, 2025 at 6 pm

This workshop is designed to loosen and stretch the hip joint so that movement in that area is easier and less tense. We will combine some restorative yoga poses with some that will increase flexibility and strengthen the body (especially the hip joints). Much of what we cover can be done at home after the workshop so you can continue opening the hips and leg muscles on your own.

All equipment will be provided for you. Information learned through yoga classes and workshops should not be considered a substitute for medical advice.
